[SonicBlur]

Shhh...its a secret. They don't want the 2.6 sales to fall flat with everyone waiting for a bigger blower.

Forget the new blower... how about all the used 2.2L KBs and Whipples that might end selling for cheap.

...that is of course presuming this isnt just another hype product like the 2.4L KB

 

[Cobra_DJ99]

I was about to come over there and smack you myself if you did.

i feel sorry for anyone that buys one, then has to wait 3 months for it because there sevice sucks.

It sounds like it's going to be a nice piece and is expected to sell for $100-$150 more. I saw a guy on ModFords that already has one on his car. I would certainly consider one if my Whipple craps out.

I am used to being behind the curve, so I will grab up one of the used smaller blowers when the time comes

When the word hits that the new KB's are out...ill put down on one and sell this 2.2....I think it would make a nice match...brand new VT engine with a brand new KB 2.6!!! :headbang: :headbang:

 

[The Pun]

Screw that, I custom ordered a new Kenne Bell 2.92.

yea well i got a detroit diesel blower...20-71 baby :headbang:

 

[GRNENVY]

Yo

I get mine on next week. Herman got me the new 2.6 and will be tuning the car. I'll let you guys know how it runs.

While it is cool that KB is offering something bigger now, to heck with that! If I ever decided to move up from my 2.2 it would be to a pair of big twin hairdryers. :burnout:

 

[ShelbyGuy]

on a certain level, im surprised nobody has done turbo-over-rootes like a detroit diesel 6v-71.

Like these by Rick Dobbertin?

The Pontiac J2000...

The Nova...

I can't imagine these 80's jizz rods ever ran well.

well, here's a question for ya, what will be done to further cool the air charge? bigger blower will move more air at lower boost, but when someone starts to squeeze one of these things will the alleged intercooler in the intake and heat exchanger be enough?

It is more efficient so for every given pound of boost it will be more efficient (cooler) than the smaller KB's. When the boost goes up to 26+ psi or so is when things will get interesting. It would need a big heat exchanger and a high flow IC pump w/ electric fans for the HE as well to keep things cooled off. At least that is what I would do to keep it cool,...along with running my own custom fabbed icebox too.
